The lead-encased wooden box was sealed to mark the laying of the foundation stone of the hospital's Variety Club Building, which opened in 1994.

The items in the capsule were selected by two children who won a Blue Peter competition and were intended to represent life in the 1990s. Other objects included a pocket TV, a snowflake hologram and a photo of Princess Diana.

The time capsule was meant to be unearthed in "hundreds of years" but was dug up to make way for the construction of a children's cancer centre.

Princess Diana became president of Gosh in 1989 and visited the children's hospital several times before her death in 1997.
